Hunter Howell who is a fisherman was in the right place at the right on Thursday March 13 near the St. Mary's Entrance Channel in the Cumberland Sound when a senior man named Mr. Seymour fell into the cold water after Seymour was attempting to raise an anchor on his fishing boat. Hunter received an emergency call from Mr. Seymour's mate that his mate had fallen into the water and he needed to be rescued quickly. Hunter used his boat in an attempt to rescue Mr. Seymour who was in cold water for about one hour when received assistance from authorities from Nassau County to transfer Mr. Seymour to their boat. Mr. Seymour was wearing his life jacket while he was in the water which saved him from drowning. The authorities did mention that Mr. Seymour suffered from exhaustion and hypothermia. Mr. Seymour will be okay after Hunter and the authorities saved his life Link is actionnewsjax.com/news/local/i-f...

Poor guy probably didn't have enough energy for that anchor

I don't like wearing life jackets but they do seem to be useful once in a while.

It is really lucky that Mr Seymour was being rescued before it is too late.

It's lucky he was wearing a life-jacket or he wouldn't have survived.

Seniors try to bite off more than they can chew, at times, thinking that they still have the strength of their younger days, and it was good that the senior age man was rescued before the effects of the cold took more of a hold on him too.

That is true since some seniors think that they are real life Supermen from time to time
